I have discovered another problem associated with this. NTDLL's swprintf 
implementation apparently has a different calling convention than the normal 
swprintf. (I haven't tried to figure out what it is, all I know is that if you 
call it you get garbage instead of formatted numbers.) This makes drop-in 
testing of ReactOS dlls on Windows very annoying, because every now and then 
something in a ReactOS dll wants to format a number and fails mysteriously.
Also, I note that it is on the banned functions list: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288454.aspx
So nothing should be calling it really; it's mostly there for compatibility 
reasons.
